Day 26 of working on my indie game 🎮
I love playing with lots of colors, but I have to admit…
Sometimes black and white sets a mood that hits even harder. 🖤🤍
It’s wild how simple choices in style can change the whole feeling of a game.

but hey, it’s Monday and sometimes everything feels a bit messy.
What do you think, does the claw mechanic make sense, or should I try something else instead? 😅

Does it make sense to have a giant claw at home? 🤔
I’m experimenting with a new mechanic in Escape the Baby Alarm, a claw that smashes things.
Sometimes, I start doubting my own ideas 🤯 and forget why they felt so important.
Looking at it from a different perspective, maybe it doesn’t make sense…

How many hours do you think you spend cleaning every week?
That’s my little research today and I’d love to know: what’s the most annoying thing to clean up? 🤔
For me… rice and blueberry smoothies are at the top of the list😅

This weekend, I tested my demo while the kids slept nearby with the baby monitor on. 👶✨
It felt like the perfect scenario and a wonderful confirmation that I’m on the right track with Escape the Baby Alarm. 🎮💛

Making a gameplay video turned out way harder than I expected😅
I got a lot of great feedback on my last trailer which was way too confusing, so now I’m trying again.
Thanks so much to everyone who shares their thoughts and helps me improve! 💛

Haha I love it!
(It doesn't have to be from a parent.)
And this example is so great! It is something I actually did to my parents as a kid. I sorted all their books in the book shelf in rainbow colors 😅

Meet this little flame 🔥
Took a break from doing my accounting today. 😅
Needed something fun to keep me sane. So… I created this fiery little buddy. You’ll meet it in the game.
